JOHN SHERMAN is waving the
bloody shirt again. That is the only
argument" left to the p. to
show why the Democratic party is
unfit to be in power. BY the way,
when such men as Beecher and Tai
mage, and many other gentlemen of
high standing, have testified from
actual observation that these stories
about Southern bulldozing' are
false, and that the elections South are
as fair as those at the North, which is
entitled to belief the men who have
no political motive to make q false
statement. or the wild assertions of a
political demagogue? The fact is that
Cleveland is giving such an excellent
administration that the Republican
cranks and heelers are desperate, and
finding his administration pure and
just, are reduced to the extremity of
inventing such disgusting billingsgate
and contemplate twsddle as John
Sherman emits on the masses who 90

est, working people In our country
have no time to waste listening to
stuff like that. and have no use for
such men as John Sherman. Neither
he nor any other demagouge need ev@
er expect to occupy the Presidential
chair of this country. ese

Mr. ANDREw SHALE, of Peters

of the country, and generally has the
latest improved tools. Last week he
planted four acre field of corn with
a patent corn planter, in eight hours !;
but he forgot 10 look when the planter
needed a supply of seed corn, and
when he was done planting he found
there was no corn in the planter, and
there had been none in for an hour.
He tnen examined tie field and found
how many rows were missed, and
started for the bag of seed corn, which
he bad left i'll a fence corner. Here
he discovered that trouble doesn't
come single handed, even in Spring
field. His muley cow had been there,
and, having no herns, she got her
head through the fence aud ate the
corn, bag and all Reveille.

THE Plain Dealer says: 1t seems to
be the impression of the Cincinnati
newspapers that there can be no poll
tics in Ohio except what arises in their
dirty city. We are given to under.
stand that the Democrats can never
succeed in Ohio because of something
that happened in Ward Four, Precinct
A, OF Cincinnati, once upon a time.
Just as though this piece of rascality
were an eternal issue and that the
Democracy of the whole state must be
responsible for it. The politicians of
Cincinnati are q rascally set and the
Republicans have their fair share of
the load. But it is not proposed to
spread Cincinnati political issues out
over the whole State.

Since the rising of the sun over popu-

over western inhabitants, there has not
been quite so little amusement as has
been experienced in our circle the past
six months. Heretofore amusements of
| every nature prevailed in unlimited pro-
fusion, but since the Interstate commerce
bill came into effect travelling shows of
only millionaire-tint can afford to run
through this country. Canton people
occasionally go to Sioux City or Sioux
Falls when they become theatre hungry,
but this is altogether too expensive to
make practice. Now and then a STROLL
ing band of street corner artists will pass
through the city and stir up little of the
old sport in our citizens. However, this
week has witnessed gala day in the
way OF the celebration OF prominent
order, and if brass bands, gaudy parades,
futtering banners and may dances call
ed amusement, we surely had it this
week.
The spring campaign, always indicative
of summer rush of business, has fairly
set in, and aside from a squall of snow
or rain, elegant weather predominates
The days have arrived when house se-clean-

gated hues, and plays jack stones and
